DT swiss rims

[paxterg]

I have an old set of DT Swiss R1600 rims, just got the bearings changed and a new freehub. Would it be possible to respray the rims without dismantling the spokes/nipples etc?

If you are a very good sprayer and you are exceptionally precise with masking up, yes.

If not it will look like something the dog brought up.

I recently had to replace a rear wheel but couldn't get an all black one to match the front so spayed the rim (disc) and spokes with a rattle can, hub was already black. It looks okay but if you're fussy it may not be acceptable.
The hardest part is making sure you've covered all the spokes.

POSSIBLE? Yes
BUT very fiddly and time consuming.
Better to strip the wheel then paint.
